Miramar Gypsy

someday, I will have a sailboat, and i will name it "Miramar Gypsy", because that just sounds beautiful, and because "miramar" means (roughly) "look at the sea". It will be a reminder, to myself, the gypsy (of sorts), to always look at the sea. :)

In the meantime, maybe I'll make an ankle bracelet that says the same thing. I'd get a tattoo but I'm far to wimpy.

This artist is amazing!! I just looove this entire series! but in particular the sublime cleverness of this first piece. Love it! Check him out!!!

inspiration. (lightning has struck my brain!)

so maybe it’s been a bit overdone, but then again, i’ve always believed that cliches are cliches for a reason. 

i’m going to do a portrait series of the classic disney/fairy tale princesses. belle, cinderella, ariel, jasmine, aurora, snow white, rapunzel, tiana, mulan, wendy, red riding hood, etc. except instead of doing them disney’s way, i’m going to portray them as strong, independent women, worthy of their own story (not a love story centered around a prince charming). and of course I will throw references in to the origins of their stories in folklore and myth.  maybe from there it will even expand into lesser known women/princesses from folklore and myths around the world. it’s gonna be awesome. :)
